Torchwood Posted May 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-40007886 Not much info at the moment but Greater Manchester Police have confirmed fatalities at a concert in Manchester. One twitterer suggested a couple of large balloons popped and panic ensued. Whatever it was its blocked nearby railway lines. One eyewitness according to the Manchester Evening news http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-arena-explosion-evacuated-ariana-13075807 said it was near the ticket office and blew him off his feet. Sounds like a hell of a balloon. Edited May 22, 2017 by Torchwood 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted May 23, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The stampede trying to get out of the building probably got a lot of people injured too. Those poor kids and the parents who can't get to them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeder Posted May 23, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2017 News says bomb went off in foyer....aka the entrance. Having worked as a bouncer for close to 20 years....this may make sense, as its at the entrance/foyer that security will be searching you....BUT....as I always say.....when a story is breaking, its best to keep a calm head and wait for the facts... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3SS Posted May 23, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 23, 2017 How awful. I'll refrain from the things I really want to say for a little while. As for what we know and how fast? It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that we'd have such quick intel from an allied source as close as England. A few months ago an attack in France (maybe? can't remember there's so many anymore) and it came out that Trump was being briefed on the situation shortly after it happened and I remember some people here making fun of that. What's he going to do, it's not his business hardy har har.... that type of stuff. Anyhow as it turned out an American or two was killed so it stands to reason the authorities knew that real fast and was likely the reason Trump was briefed so quickly on the matter. Anyhow condolences to the victims of the worlds greatest enemy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're thinking of the attack near parliament? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
